I have wondered what has kept this country from going up in smoke.
Amazing a cigarette hasn't got us with Hwy 287 to the north and US 190 to the south.

Besides the loss of property and livestock..I feel for those poor firefighters, in 100 plus degree heat, with all that gear..

and we havent even hit July fourth yet.

Vette isn't it you that has people around Trevat and Nigton talking about evacuating Groveton, Apple Springs.
Fire started down at Carmona from bearing going out on a fellows stock trailer, they gave him a ticket for the bearing going out. I know who it was. Got a good fire going on over here in Tyler county couple of billhilly's shooting propane tanks. Those two failed the daily IQ test.

The reports show that fires in Texas went wild over the last few days. Hope you get some rain. There are a lot of resources being ask for but Texas say they have no money left to pay for them. Looks like FEMA will help a little but that takes a long time.
Heading to Florida this weekend to replace the crews we already have there. Looks pretty bad there also as well as Georgia.

Looks like FEMA will help a little but that takes a long time. Gov. Perry is saying Texas is in good shape thanks to him. It's the Federal Government that's broke.

Texas as a whole I think is in good shape it is the Texas Forest Service that is in trouble. They have been having fires for so long and many of them large ones that their budget is gone.

Cal,
We had an 1.5 inches of rain also. It was just about a perfect rain - relatively steady from about 11pm 'til after 2 am! No sleep due to lighting and thunder was definitely worth it.

CB all we have had is 30-40 mph winds for days now. A few clouds yesterday but no moisture. DFW got rain and high winds early this morning but nothing back down here. I think there is a small chance this afternoon but not holding my breath.

 

[spinandslide]

[slick4591]

The fire danger will be down for a while.
